Ofada sauce
Ofada sauce is a popular Nigerian condiment typically served with Ofada rice, a locally grown variety of rice. The sauce is made from a blend of ingredients, including green bell peppers, scotch bonnet peppers, onions, and palm oil, which give it a rich, spicy flavor. It often includes proteins like beef or goat meat, making it a hearty accompaniment.
This sauce is known for its unique taste and vibrant color, which comes from the use of unrefined palm oil. Ofada sauce is not only enjoyed for its flavor but also for its cultural significance in Nigerian cuisine, often served during special occasions and gatherings.
